The hosts of the Hit Factory podcast return to Junk Filter for a discussion of the 2003 drama Shattered Glass, the directorial debut of screenwriter Billy Ray, starring Hayden Christensen and Peter Sarsgaard. It’s a great adaptation of the rise and fall of The New Republic's hotshot journalist Stephen Glass, who was exposed as a serial fabulist through the rigorous fact-checking of a competitive news outlet and then the magazine’s new editor, Charles Lane.

We discuss Shattered Glass as an underrated and compelling drama about ethics in journalism, how it serves as a distant early warning of a problem in media that’s only gotten worse, and how the film portrays how white collar sociopaths operate in the workplace and how to successfully confront one.

I became a patron solely to listen to people talk about Shattered Glass in 2022, so good on you.

I think I saw this movie (back in my most movie-fiendish days) as the result of a bargain-bin dvd sale (1-2 dollars a pop). Was completely unfamiliar with it, and probably only gave it a try because I was - a little pretentiously - being "open-minded" about movies in general, at the time. ..the equivalent of a 2 dollar price-tag also helped. Maybe one of my best "completely stumble upon" movie discoveries. It's so delightful to be surprised like that. "Hey, that's the awful but ridiculously beautiful Star Wars guy. Wait, this is really good. And HE is really good, in this role of a weepy, emotionally manipulative and stunted little weasel. And there is Chloe Sevigny. Where the hell has this movie been hiding from me, all this time?"
